Dear Health Alerts Reader:

WHY is it so hard to eat right and control your weight?

You know that eating right will help you maintain a healthy weight.

You know that watching what you eat helps you stay fit and trim.

You also know that a healthy diet may even protect you against a variety of chronic health conditions:

  • coronary heart disease
  • diabetes
  • osteoporosis
  • high cholesterol
  • high blood pressure
  • arthritis
  • certain types of cancer, like colon cancer.

So WHY is it so hard to eat right and control your weight?

Because there are so many obstacles to your healthy eating:

  • your busy lifestyle
  • the ready availability of high-calorie convenience foods
  • super-sized portions
  • too little time for physical activity
  • conflicting information on what really works when it comes to nutrition and weight loss.

Fortunately, help is at hand in your quest for good nutrition and safe, effective weight loss.

    Introducing...

Johns Hopkins White Paper: Nutrition and Weight Control

The 2010 Johns Hopkins Nutrition and Weight Control White Paper

The expertise you need in the layman's language
you can understand and use.

You will receive simple, effective strategies for achieving good nutrition and, in the process, help you keep your weight under control and increase your chances of good health.

Johns Hopkins nutrition and weight control specialists show you how to:

  • Lose unwanted pounds.
  • Decide which weight loss tips are best for you and which don’t work.
  • Do exercises that help you lose weight and keep it off.
  • Shop for, prepare, and enjoy a health-promoting, balanced diet.
  • Learn the basics of good nutrition.

Despite the vast amount and variety of foods available, you might not be getting the best nutrition. In fact, the most recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System notes that only 24% of adults consume the minimum recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

In addition, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 67% of the U.S. population is overweight or obese.

Yet many don’t realize that they have a weight problem, and so they ignore health advice and warnings.

You might also think that dietary changes made later in life will have little effect on your health. But changing dietary habits and losing weight in middle or even old age can significantly improve how you feel—and decrease your risk of chronic diseases.

The 2010 Johns Hopkins Nutrition and Weight Control White Paper is designed to help you tackle these kind of issues and ensure the best outcome.
